I set up this page in one tab, and opened my gmail CLG email in tab next to it. I went between the two to follow these instructions, and haven't had any CLG emails go to "spam" for months now! GMail SHOULD have a "opt-in" for what to send to spam, not make us have to beg them not to send our emails to spam, but that's life!
